It’s more of a mood enhancer regardless of anxiety issues. One could be in a peaceful state and still feel even better on it. It pairs well with bromantane so I use both.
Nice to see someone trying these Russian interventions out.

My husband and I have been using intranasal insulin for about 5 months. Is that “sketchy”?
I have experienced some appetite suppression but not sure there are any cognitive changes. The appetite suppression has been described in the literature. The insulin that you provide to the brain does not exit the brain, but causes the brain to alter signaling to the body.
My husband had a one point improvement on the MoCA test versus 6 months ago. Probably noise, but happy it is at least not getting worse. Neither of us has had any adverse effects.

Man this stuff is no joke. Screw taking it at night, just taking it in the day combined with a high dose of Alpha GPC (or another choline source I imagine) has given me an insane boost of energy. I didn’t even sleep well last night and I have ridiculous energy and confidence.
4mg of galamantine and maybe 1/6th tablespoon of Alpha GPC.
Anyone else get this effect? It’s stronger than modafinil. I’d reduce the dose next time to half or a quarter as it’s quite intense but this is good.
I also took CBD oil and lemon balm with this and those have GABA properties. Combined it was a very intense spiritual/mild psychedelic experience.
I felt like just doing things. I felt younger. This combo isn’t something you could do daily but I want to maintain this mindset as much as possible.
It’s pretty funny I took this stuff thinking it would just be a mild improvement of focus. Boy was I wrong.

I do, sans the CBD oil and lemon balm.
It’s always nice to find something that works for you. You seem to be a hyper responder.
That is a fairly unusual response. I have never noticed any effect on my sleep other than producing more vivid and colorful dreams. That is why I rarely take it at bedtime.
It’s one of the top three most prescribed drugs for the treatment of mild dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Certainly more effective IMO than Rivastigmine or Memantine. I have tried both for several weeks and noticed nothing. Galantamine is the only one of the three that gives me noticeable subjective cognitive benefits, but nothing as strong as you describe.
I am very sensitive to modafinil and only take 50 mg in the morning.
I take 8 mg of galantamine twice daily, morning and evening. Some people experience gastrointestinal distress; if so, be sure to take it with food. I take it on an empty stomach in the morning, and it has never caused me any problems.
“Galantamine. Cholinesterase inhibitor. Treats symptoms of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine and stimulates nicotinic receptors to release more acetylcholine in the brain.”
The most commonly prescribed dosage is 16 mg daily.

You need to combine with CBD and lemon balm to get the full effect I think. The GABA modulation takes it to a new level. I just don’t advise doing it before you need to be serious lol.
I just woke up the next day and I still feel a really positive effect.
To clarify when I say psychedellic, it didn’t produce any hallucination effects. It was just a very intense trip.
Ever tried armodafinil? I did and in my experience it was superior to modafinil, but the effect lasts so much longer I find even if I take it right in the morning I’ll be up late next day. Something I’d only use very selectively and occasionally.
I can’t even imagine. But I’m not sure if I mentioned this, but I’ve taken galantamine by itself a few times at night before bed, and once during the day without this effect. I do think it is the combination that makes it have that profound effect.
I’m quite curious to try 1/4 of the dose and see what kind of benefits there are. I also am wondering what would happen if exogenous oxytocin were added to this mix. ChatGPT predicts it could be a safer alternative to MDMA.

On my third day of GB-115, which I find superior to bromantane, selank, and modafinil. A mildly stimulating peptide with pronounced anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory effects, it already holds a place of honor in my personal pharmacy. Everychem takes CC as well as crypto.
